1st Approach

Since the FMP is a great opportunity to promote the paths of graphic design that we are most interested to follow in the future, I would like to operate within the field of web design. I would also like to focus on the live market of Nicosia, Cyprus, since it is a market that I’m familiar of and easier for me to approach, as well as because it is a thriving and progressing market, since Cyprus’ inclusion in the European Union.
My aim will be to research and track down several companies, preferably ones that represent international brands, and design their websites. Some of them may already have existing, running websites, which I will attempt to re-design. The companies and enterprises I will select (or better, try to select) will be from various domains of the industry (fashion, music, medicine, property, sports etc), so that the project will have an interesting variety. All websites will have a similar and familiar layout, since my aim is to introduce my personal graphic touch in all the works so that they will appear balanced and in proportion when assembled and viewed together.
I have started researching and enquiring in the Cypriot market, anticipating to find worthwhile customers before I write this proposal. So far, I have found 3 companies that agreed to participate in this task. Fortunately, all of them from different industries.

1. Kirmico Ltd. is the official representative of the KYOCERA printers in Cyprus, also responsible for the importing and distributing of scanners, faxes, shredders and other office machines.

2. ESPRIT. The famous worldwide clothing brand.

3. Deep Horizons Recordings. The first electronic/dance production studio in Cyprus with a 7-year experience in house music production and DJing.

The project will be a live brief since the constructed websites will be published on the net and will be running normally. I will endeavour to overall find at least 4 or 5 different companies ranging from as much types of business as possible to create my collection of websites.
